So verify again.</li> </ul>[ATTACH=full]120666[/ATTACH] Here you can start the various codec config tools as usual for other settings you want. I made just the following additional adjustments<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">FFDShow Audio -> Mixer -> Enabled "Expand Stereo to Center".</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Haali Splitter -> Options -> Input -> Input Buffer Size -> 65535</li> </ul>And in MediaPortal I enabled under "Codecs and Renderer" -> "Video Codecs" -> "Automatic Decoder Settings", so that the configuration of the just configured DirectShow Merits is used for playback of Video Files. These codec configurations are Windows based. So If I want to check if MP is the problem. I can simply playback a file with Windows Media Player or any other player using DirectShow. Always good for a check if its a problem with a file in general or an MP issue. And with Icaros Thumbnailing I have nice previews of all video files as well. For Blu-Ray, TV (don't use the TV part), DVD in MP I configured MPEG2 to use Microsoft, H264/VC1 MPC-HC, Audio all set to FFDShow (when available). And Video Renderer is EVR of course. But that's not your problem area, so no need to discuss it at the moment. Just configure to your liking or keep your current configuration. And I use this setup on all machines of all of my friends regardless of CPU or GPU. Audio/Video Output is always a HDMI connection to the receiver and from there to TV/Display and/or projector as usual. In addition my HD7950 doesn't clocks in various playback modes down. Keyword here is to set "Want_0" to the same value as "Want_1" (both 91000 in my case)" under "CoreClockTarget_0". See various guides like <a href="http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116057" target="_blank">this one</a> how to do it without any additional tools. And for a proper picture make sure you use 16-235 for the video color range in CCC if you have washed out colors or crushed blacks. If you are not sure try it. You will immediately see what's right for your connected display. And in Windows's sound configuration I selected the connected receiver (over HDMI) as the Default Audio Device of course. But that one was clear I guess. Oh yes, of course I use the refresh rate changer to match the refresh rates. But I guess, you do the same. I can play back anything without issues unless the file is screwed up and shows issues on all players. Never encountered something that only has MP problems. GPU is mostly idle, never goes over 20% load and CPU (i7 2600K only slightly overclocked) similar. We talking about roughly 1800 HD Movies and 15000 TV Show Episodes in various formats from my own remuxed DVD/BluRay collection to very bad MPG TV caps from the late 80s and what SickBeard/CouchPotato brings daily home <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Edit: Forgot in addition I registered the madFlac codec on my system for FLAC audio palyback. I think flach support didn't came with the Shark007 pack.</blockquote>
